Redbreast — the natural proof version of Ireland’s most celebrated single pot still whiskey, presenting the same 12-year American and European oak matured pot still at cask strength — non-chill filtered and batch released, with each batch carrying its own natural proof reflecting that group of casks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRedbreast has been the flagship of the Midleton single pot still range since its relaunch in the 1990s, and the Cask Strength expression provides the most direct access to the pot still character without the water addition of the standard 46% bottling. Single pot still Irish whiskey — made from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley in a copper pot still — produces a richer, creamier, more full-bodied spirit than column-distilled grain whiskey or single malt, and at cask strength those characteristics reach their most concentrated expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrus, biscuit, toasted oak, brown sugar, vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy, briny, candied orange, cedary spice, pot still oils\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warming, persistent pot still spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey, Cask Strength\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered, batch release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/midleton\"\u003eMidleton at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e or explore our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/irish-whiskey\"\u003eIrish whiskey collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is single pot still Irish whiskey?\u003c\/strong\u003e A uniquely Irish whiskey style made from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley distilled in a copper pot still.
